and broker's suit show gentlemen's agreement managers stories differ lederer blames the public for ticket speculation says playhouses are helpless arthur fabish western manager for several years for william morris vaude ville agent and who is personally known by every vaudeville artist in this country has disappeared from chicago's rialto he has left.bchlnd him a trail of business dealings which yesterday served to un cover the secrets of the gentlemen's agreement between the big theaters and the ticket scalpers which has lifted sev eral hundred thousands of dollars out of the pockets of chicago's amusement seek ers â– of mr fabish's disappearance there are different stories told he is no longer western representative for mr morris he left Chicago on december 24 j c matthews the present western represent ative of mr morris says l^e is in posses sion of many unexplained checks given by mr fabish and that au auditor who is now going over the office accounts has found them to be in a badly muddled con dition | it was a transaction which mr fabish is said to have conducted in the purchase of 2,400 worth of seats in orchestra hall for the appearance of harry lauder scot tish comedian that ' led to the uncovering of the gentlemen's agreement between the theaters and the scalpers mr fa bish it now appears bought the tickets for herman oppeuheimer one of the heads of the scalping firm of h n waterfall & co who control the scalping privi leges in all of the large hotels did not get tickets mr oppenheimer so he now claims did not get the last lot of lauder tickets for which he paid mr fabi6h 1,200 and so has filed a suit against william morris the fact that a scalper was given such large blocks of seats for the lauder enter tainments nnd the knowledge that the gentlemen's agreement would soon be a matter of court record caused several con fessions to be made yesterday by the theater managers and the scalpers george lederer who is the western rep resentative of tlie klaw and erlanger in terests stepped boldly into the open and acknowledged that the big theaters where the popular attractions are given know ingly sell tickets direct to thp scalpers mr lederer however declares that the theater managers sell to the scalpers be cause they cannot help themselves and that the public which foots the bills is to blame for the system vhich has sprung np as klaw & ei'langer either own out right or control the Illinois powers colo nial and auditorium theaters his state ment outlines the dealings all the man agers of the large theaters have with the scalpers Â» lederer explains deal we sell tickets to the scalpers upon their agreement not to charge customers more than 50 cents advance over the price marked on eaeh ticket said mr lederer if we didn't sell to the scalpers they would send decoys to the box offices and secure the seats anyway the managers of theaters agreed to sell a few tickets to ticket brokers in hotels for the convenience of out-of-town patrons of theaters we don't let them have many for instance i believe tbat the auditorium is allowed only six seats to each attraction now ns a matter of fact the very people who are complain ing against the ticket brokers are the ones who encourage them for instance the ticket broker is a tery handy man for the young million aire's son who gets his allowance once a month he gets broke toward the end of the month he cannot get trusted at a theater box office but he has been dealing with a ticket broker and has an arrange ' ment where he sends for his theater tick ets whenever he wants them and then set tles ith the broker by check every month wealthy people who want the best seats won't go to a theatcr box office it is more convenient for them to buy their tickets at some hotel and they do it that's the situation in a nut shell despite mr lederer's assurances that only a limited number of tickets are al lotted toÂ«ach hotel mr oppenheimer last night refused to talk until he learnpd that mr lederer had confessed and then his story of the number of tickets that scalp ers were allowed to purchase did not jibe with mr lederer's number sold varies how many tickets do you purchase daily from the theaters was asked that depends upon the attraction was the reply if it is a popular one w e get 1 more tickets than we do for an ordinary play have you au agreement with the the atrical manager not to charge an advance \ over the regular price of more than fio \ cents a seatv , we do not charge more than a 50-cent , advance on each ticket was the positive , reply a number of persons have complained , that they have had to pay as high as 5 , and 10 for seats mr oppeuheimer was , told ob that was on some special nigbt i like christmas night or on sonic occasiou , of that sort was thc answer when asked about the transaction he had bad with arthur fabish in the pur , chasing of the tickets for harry lauder's - entertainments mr oppenhi-lmrr said fabish was morris representative and i gave him 1,200 cash for tickets to the first entertainments and got the tickets thc next time i gave ln'm a cheek for 1,200 but i never got th tickets al though i understand that he cashed the check at orchestra hall his relatives have been around to me to straighten the matter out but i tell theiu i have nothing to do with it " u s relief ship celtic leaving

added one new train to its schedule it has ousted a number of incompetents and replaced them with mose efficient em ployes it is uow painting the stations when he refused to go further into de tail it

adequate service in the way of transportation mr hereley was asked what he had to say regarding the ineffi cient train service and failure to elevate tries to help road the road is in financial straits be said it has not the money to pay for such improrements when i see a man who is down i do not start kicking him i try to help him the lake street l has shown that it is not as black as it is painted i am not seeking office there fore do not wish to seek campaign thunder by attacking the lake street l instead of condemning the road i am in favor of commending iri what are the road's financial straits to you mr hereley was asked only this that i am in favor of giving any fellow a chance when be is up against it " was the reply do you think it is the province of the city traction expert to defend persons or corporations defying the law the duties of the expert are uot to criticise at least the official is in office to take care of the public and not to help along any political campaigns so you think the lake street l bas done its duty by the public well it could do worse i think it will improve but give it a chance dou't hit a man when he's down knight to see mayor hereley

yesterday served to un cover the secrets of the gentlemen's agreement between the big theaters and the ticket scalpers which has lifted sev eral hundred thousands of dollars out of the pockets of chicago's amusement seek ers â– of mr fabish's disappearance there are different stories told he is no longer western representative for mr morris he left Chicago on december 24 j c matthews the present western represent ative of mr morris says l^e is in posses sion of many unexplained checks given by mr fabish and that au auditor who is now going over the office accounts has found them to be in a badly muddled con dition | it was a transaction which mr fabish is said to have conducted in the purchase of 2,400 worth of seats in orchestra hall for the appearance of harry lauder scot tish comedian that ' led to the uncovering of the gentlemen's agreement between the theaters and the scalpers mr fa bish it now appears bought the tickets for herman oppeuheimer one of the heads of the scalping firm of h n waterfall & co who control the scalping privi leges in all of the large hotels did not get tickets mr oppenheimer so he now claims did not get the last lot of lauder tickets for which he paid mr fabi6h 1,200 and so has filed a suit against william morris the fact that a scalper was given such large blocks of seats for the lauder enter tainments nnd the knowledge that the gentlemen's agreement would soon be a matter of court record caused several con fessions to be made yesterday by the theater managers and the scalpers george lederer who is the western rep resentative of tlie klaw and erlanger in terests stepped boldly into the open and acknowledged that the big theaters where the popular attractions are given know ingly sell tickets direct to thp scalpers mr lederer however declares that the theater managers sell to the scalpers be cause they cannot help themselves and that the public which foots the bills is to blame for the system vhich has sprung np as klaw & ei'langer either own out right or control the Illinois powers colo nial and auditorium theaters his state ment outlines the dealings all the man agers of the large theaters have with the scalpers Â» lederer explains deal we sell tickets to the scalpers upon their agreement not to charge customers more than 50 cents advance over the price marked on eaeh ticket said mr lederer if we didn't sell to the scalpers they would send decoys to the box offices and secure the seats anyway the managers of theaters agreed to sell a few tickets to ticket brokers in hotels for the convenience of out-of-town patrons of theaters we don't let them have many for instance i believe tbat the auditorium is allowed only six seats to each attraction now ns a matter of fact the very people who are complain ing against the ticket brokers are the ones who encourage them for instance the ticket broker is a tery handy man for the young million aire's son who gets his allowance once a month he gets broke toward the end of the month he cannot get trusted at a theater box office but he has been dealing with a ticket broker and has an arrange ' ment where he sends for his theater tick ets whenever he wants them and then set tles ith the broker by check every month wealthy people who want the best seats won't go to a theatcr box office it is more convenient for them to buy their tickets at some hotel and they do it that's the situation in a nut shell despite mr lederer's assurances that only a limited number of tickets are al lotted toÂ«ach hotel mr oppenheimer last night refused to talk until he learnpd that mr lederer had confessed and then his story of the number of tickets that scalp ers were allowed to purchase did not jibe with mr lederer's number sold varies how many tickets do you purchase daily from the theaters was asked that depends upon the attraction was the reply if it is a popular one w e get 1 more tickets than we do for an ordinary play have you au agreement with the the atrical manager not to charge an advance \ over the regular price of more than fio \ cents a seatv , we do not charge more than a 50-cent , advance on each ticket was the positive , reply a number of persons have complained , that they have had to pay as high as 5 , and 10 for seats mr oppeuheimer was , told ob that was on some special nigbt i like christmas night or on sonic occasiou , of that sort was thc answer when asked about the transaction he had bad with arthur fabish in the pur , chasing of the tickets for harry lauder's - entertainments mr oppenhi-lmrr said fabish was morris representative and i gave him 1,200 cash for tickets to the first entertainments and got the tickets thc next time i gave ln'm a cheek for 1,200 but i never got th tickets al though i understand that he cashed the check at orchestra hall his relatives have been around to me to straighten the matter out but i tell theiu i have nothing to do with it " u s relief ship celtic leaving
